Foreword
Triale Institute is an organisation dedicated to innovation and design in a low tech environment, focusing on improvisation, experiment and knowledge transfer. Experiments often take place in precarious circumstances, the outdoors, with limited amenities and in potentially dangerous environments. Please be aware of that before booking a workshop.
We believe that our setup of instant-out-of-comfort-zone-scenarios can generate fantastic serendipity enriched experiences that may fuel and shape our future.
